Infobox retrieves the software product's latest release version, latest release date, latest preview version and latest preview date from outside the article. Users visiting the article may click the numbers directly in the infobox to edit that external source. This mode is very useful for articles about software products whose vendors keep releasing updates or newer versions. With this mode is enabled, users can quickly and effectively edit the release data without editing the article proper (and cluttering its edit history with inconsequential edits).

To make the infobox retrieve release data from outside the article:

Create an external source that supplies data for latest stable release. To do so:

Copy and paste the following URL into your browser's address bar, replacing INFOBOX_NAME with the value supplied in name parameter of the infobox://fa.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D8%A7%D9%84%DA%AF%D9%88:Latest_stable_software_release/INFOBOX_NAME&action=edit&preload=Template:LSR/syntax

In the page that opens, fill in the required information.

Save the page.

Create an external source that supplies data for latest preview release. To do so:

Copy and paste the following URL into your browser's address bar, replacing INFOBOX_NAME with the value suppplied in name parameter of the infobox://fa.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D8%A7%D9%84%DA%AF%D9%88:Latest_preview_software_release/INFOBOX_NAME&action=edit&preload=Template:LPR/syntax

In the page that opens, fill in the required information.

Save the page.

In the main article delete any latest release version, latest release date, latest preview version or latest preview date parameters (otherwise they will take precedence over templates' data).

Save the article.

Refresh the article.

The same templates may be shared between related articles. To do so, specify the subpage name of the templates' versions in the infobox's parameter |name= and add |title=subject of the article parameter to make the infobox display the proper name in the article.

This infobox is just an example, and it isn't supposed to reflect the present state of this particular piece of software, or even make any sense. It is only shown to demonstrate the effect of the options.

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Dates will only appear if you use {{Start date}} or {{End date}} (use the former for single dates).
